Is it just me or is this board dying? Is there no more to learn/hack on the Aud?
Maybe it's just Summer and people have better things to do like lie in the sun

Ever since I joined in October I've noticed alternating periods of quiet and posting frenzy on this board. Spring/summer might have something to do with it. The slow progress in getting Linux on the Audrey might be turning some people off.

Personally, I'm still hacking away on Audrey all the time. I have a new version of ACID to be released next week, and I have a few other fun projects simmering. There is always more to hack!

For me the novelty has faded. I just purchased a Boundless WebPlayer from Ubid. Going to see how much fun it will be. I posted a thread earlier about selling my 2 audrey's but that was impulsive. I'm not really sure now if i want to sell them. (not that i have had any takers)

Well Audrey still has 16 megs storage and limited memory and runs on the QNX 6.0 kernel. I believe especially with my V.USB1-1 image I have stretched Audrey to its current limits. At this time from a hackers standpoint not much more is possible, unless the upcoming new version of QNX will allow us to do more.Or even better if someone could hack the boot loader..
In the meantime I watch the nice things davinci27, Sketchy and some others are doing, while on a long planned trip in Europe with Audrey.

It can use the Palm database on the Audrey to look up numbers. There are a lot more options and you have finer control over the old options. The overall interface has been cleaned up and improved. I'll post the details when I put the new version up on my site.

At this point the Audrey is almost everything I need (terminal to access my Linux box via ssh, MP3 jukebox, caller ID station, and Web browser, to name the major ones) so I kind of consider the mission accomplished for me personally. I use the Audrey all the time. Still need to write a kitchen timer app, but I haven't had time to cook much recently so necessity hasn't been the mother of invention!

I agree. I have almost everything I need now. I still do want a shopping list app but I'm still having so much fun with the phjuke that I have put it on the back shelf.

well -- I've got one Audrey (stock, except for FTP and pterm hack) on the nightstand for light surfing, and the first one put aside for later vicious hacking, since I already completely disassembled it last year to take pictures for audreyhacking.net... just lurking, reading, and enjoying watching everyone else hack at it . . .

Well I for one just bought my first Audrey, and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the meantime, it's summer in Iowa, the corn is growing and somebody has to watch it!
Keep on truckin', or hackin' or sit back and watch TV...
